ps -Hc --- enhancement

[Zambrano,Hugo]

Proposal:

You have a small test1.sh shell script that calls a second test2.sh script.  In the second script you want to find out what the name of the first calling script is.

Currently, if you use the ps command within the second script you only get "bash" as command name but not the real name of the calling script, in this case it would be test1.sh. If you use ps -Hc, where "c" is supposed to mean real command name, still shows "bash".
